Nothing. A clementine IS a mandarin

A clementine is the fruit of a variety of mandarin (Citrus reticulata), named in 1902. The traditional story is that it was "originally an accidental hybrid said to have been discovered by Father Clément Rodier in the garden of his orphanage in Misserghin, Algeria."[1] However, there are claims it originated in China much earlier. James Saunt writes: "Some authorities believe it is virtually identical to the variety known as the Canton mandarin widely grown in Gwangxi and Guangdong Provinces in China." In Arabic, it is called "Kalamintina".

A clementine is a hybrid between a mandarin and a sweet orange.
They have no seeds and are easy to peel.

Clementine's are great they taste almost the same but the clementine has a thick skin so it is easier to peel and has no pits

They are citric family that you can peel and eat but the different is mandarin orange is sweeter and is harder to peel for me.
Simple question, simple answer.
Your question is like what is the difference between a vidalia and yellow onion.

a Clementine is a branded name, a tangerine is a generic name.
Sorta like Vidalia onions... they have to be from Vidalia, GA or they are not "real" vidalias, but there are plenty of mild, sweet onions out there.
